Ahí estaba
Darío Gómez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pudiste hacerme feliz
Y no quisiste
Despues de ser mi adorada
Para mi no había mas nada,
Y me dejaste muy triste
Quise darte el corazón
Y no me lo recibiste.
Tu no quisiste mi amor
Pero ahí estaba,
Yo me cruce en tu camino
Y no me diste cariño
Cuando lo necesitaba,
Ahora ya me da lo mismo
Que no me prometas nada

Hoy que te hace falta mi querer
Me das a entender
Que si me amabas
Y si el orgullo no te dejo
No quisiste mi amor
Pero ahí estaba.

Ahora que me has perdido
Porque te enfadas
Si ni un recuerdo te dejo,
Con mi tristeza me alejo,
Yo solo fui el que perdí,
Tu no estabas preparada para el amor que te di.

Hoy que te hace falta mi querer
Me das a entender
Que si me amabas
Y si el orgullo no te dejo




No quisiste mi amor
Pero ahí estaba.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dario Gomez's song "Ahi Estaba" (There I Was) depict a failed love story where the singer loved someone who didn't return his love. The song's opening line, "Pudiste hacerme feliz y no quisiste" (You could have made me happy, but you didn't want to), sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer laments that despite being his "adorada" (beloved), she left him feeling "muy triste" (very sad). He had offered her his heart, but she didn't accept it.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Pero ahí estaba" (But there I was), emphasizing that even though she didn't want his love, he was still there, hoping she'd change her mind. He reflects on how she didn't give him the affection he needed when he needed it, and now that she wants his love, he doesn't care. He's moved on from the pain of her rejection.


The song's third verse sees the singer respond to the woman's attempts to rekindle their relationship. She wants his love now that she's realized what she's lost, but he's no longer interested, and her attempts come across as disingenuous. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer acknowledging that he lost her, but she wasn't ready for the love he wanted to give her.


Overall, "Ahi Estaba" is a poignant song that explores the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from it.
